The Blades haven’t played at home since the end of November when they beat Bristol City in Paul Heckingbottom’s first game in permanent charge.

His men will look to bounce back from their disappointment in midweek, when Preston came from 2-0 down with 10 men to snatch a point at Deepdale.

Blades v Luton Town LIVE

PH on Jack Robinson

Pleased for him. I didn’t realise it was his first goal. Whilever I’ve been here he’s been great, he’s responded well. People mention the mistake at Wolves but we’re going to make mistakes and it won’t be those that make people fall out of favour with me, it’ll be a lack of energy and bravery to get on the ball because we ant to test other teams and we need that to trouble other teams. But mistakes aren’t an issue.

Playing on the shoulder, the front boys played well. I wanted more from Rhian and Iliman after the first half, they’re big talents but they have to do their jobs in and out of possession. He took that on board in the second half, worked closer to Billy. Delighted he got the goal and where he got the goal, in between the posts. We need him in there more. We still want more and he’ll certainly be pushed.

PH on managing the game

We spoke to the experienced boys about managing the game, so we earned the right to see the game out. We spoke about managing the game. If we need to slow it down then we do, but we need to inject energy when it was right because we had the extra body.

Paul Heckingbottom’s reaction

We’re going to have to get used to that, and everyone who comes to watch us in terms of teams coming to frustrate us. We wanted to play quicker in the second half while also keeping out patience, slowing it down at goal kicks and throw ins and we’re all going to have to get used to that.

and three points for the Blades at home to Luton - a flat first 45 but a much better intensity early in the second blitzed Luton with two goals and a deserved three points, I’d say . Stand by for Paul Heckingbottom’s reaction, player ratings and much more from this game as the Blades returned to Bramall Lane in winning fashion

see McGoldrick and McBurnie coming on, for Sharp and Ndiaye in the closing stages of this game

for the Blades as Norrington-Davies’ cross is diverted over his own crossbar by Osho, that can’t have been far from going in... corner for the Blades, Hourihane slips as he looks to shoot and Luton look to break, but Norrington-Davies does well to cut out the danger

sees Berge come on for Brewster, a few Blades in the south stand certainly don’t agree judging by their reaction - Ndiaye and Sharp up front

and Luton are down to 10 men as Burke sees red for dragging down Brewster as he looks to race through on goal - Norwood’s excellent pass through and Burke had no option but to drag Brewster down, and walks for his troubles

for Brewster to score his second as a shot is deflected into his path at the back post, he has the freedom of Bramall Lane almost to pick his spot but he can’t get over the top of the ball and he skews it over the bar
